The ministers Novak and Plibersek talked about the great importance of maintaining the Slovenian culture in Australia and talked about the great drop in activities in Slovenian clubs and schools in Australia. The ministers talked in the Slovenian language, as the Australian minister is fluent in the language of her ancestors. The visit of the minister Tanya Plibersek is one in a series of events which are increasingly connecting the two countries, but the main goal of her visit as being the health minister was to implement the agreement on health care in both countries.

Minister Tanya Plibersek during her visit to Slovenia already held a visit with the Slovenian health minister Tomaž Gantar and the President of the Slovenian Government Janez Janša. In the upcoming days she will meet the President of Slovenia, Dr. Danilo Türk.
